But there was also plenty of publicity unauthorized by Mr. Armstrong, including three days of coverage in The New York Post, a string of articles on Us Magazine’s Web site and an article in Life & Style entitled “How Lance Stole Kate From Owen,” all chronicling Mr. Armstrong’s relationship with the actress and tabloid darling Kate Hudson.
Furthermore, many people seem to mention his two-year relationship with the singer Sheryl Crow, his romance with the fashion designer Tory Burch and his canoodling last year in a New York nightclub with Ashley Olsen, rather than his serious pursuits.

The two were partying at the Beatrice Inn in NYC last Friday night when Ashley Olsen struck up a conversation with Samantha and Lindsay became enraged with jealousy. Insecure much?
Lindsay screamed at Ashley,
“Get your 15-year-old ‘Full House’ ass away from my girlfriend.”
Aside from being one of the funniest lines I’ve ever heard, Lindsay is being a tad obsessive — don’t ya think?
She’s friends with Marc Jacobs, his ex-fiancé (and former hooker) Jason Preston, The Hills’ Lauren Conrad, model Jessica Stam, random internet socialite Cory Kennedy, and a whole host of other notable idiots.
She’s friends with a “Hiilary Duff” (a notorious enemy) and, judging by her “Wall,” she and model Lauren Hastings seem to be in some sort of fight. Also, as you can see from her “Status,” she’s totes serious about her new sober living (”It was 430 am!!!” she offers as cryptic explanation for something), even though she’s been seen hard partying all over the place.
I find it hard to believe that any celebrities use Facebook and MySpace — I mean, when do they have the time to sit at the computer like all of us hacks do?
A screen shot of her “Wall” is after the jump, click “Continued” below.
Hugh Hefner tried to land Mary Kate and Ashley Olsen for an issue of Playboy just after their 18th birthday. They wisely refused the offer and continued their quest of dominating the tween world. Not being one to give up, Hef tried again to snag the twins for a feature spread. According to an insider, he is under the impression that the Olsen twins are every man’s fantasy.
Michelle Tanner in Playboy?!? Thank God they said no. I could just see their issue hitting the stands and men everywhere have a sudden case of erectile dysfunction at the sight of their little boy breasts.

How often do a brother and a sister make the top 10 of the same list?
10. Ally Hilfiger - Before “Laguna Beach,” in 2003 “Rich Girls” ruled the MTV privileged kid reality slot. Ally and her then friend, Jaime Gleicher, had every aspect of their Manhattan lives featured. During its only season, the daughter of famed designer Tommy claimed her father invented Cargo pants. Since the show wrapped, she’s visited rehab, but also recently had an art exhibit at the Chelsea Art Museum.
9. Stavros Niarchos III - The grandson of shipping tycoon Stavros Niarchos, who was a rival of Aristotle Onassis, is best known for dating Paris Hilton, Mary-Kate Olsen (also both further down this list) and Lindsay Lohan. But he’s made the news on his own merit too — he once paid a homeless man to pour a drink over his head (just for fun).
8. Fabian Basabe - Son of an Ecuadorian businessman, in 2005 he married Martina Borgomanero, heir to La Perla lingerie. During his time in the limelight as being famous for doing nothing (he appeared in E!’s 2005 “Filthy Rich: Cattle Ranch”), he’s had a knack for making the gossip sites for negative news. He sued trendy NYC nightspot Bungalow 8 for not letting him in, called the doorman of a Hamptons hot spot the N word and has received a DUI. Never shy, he recently accused Tyra Banks of having an unfortunate accident in her pants on his blog.
7. Barron Hilton - The younger brother of Paris and Nicky recently initiated himself as the newest member of the celebutante lot by getting arrested for DUI. Is it cynical to ask if this was his ‘first’ DUI? Unlike role model sis, Paris, parents Rick and Kathy didn’t pay his bail.
6. The Olsen Twins - The super rich sisters are heirs to their own fortune. They make our list because even though they’ve made their money by actually working, they had to wait until their 18th birthday to collect it. Fixtures in the club scene, these fashionistas now rub elbows with society’s elite. Mary-Kate might be considered the breakout star partly because of her role on the critically acclaimed Showtime series, ‘Weeds.’ But, more likely, it’s because she’s allegedly been hospitalized for anorexia and reportedly was having a relationship with Heath Ledger during the time of his death.
5. Cisco Adler - Son of the son of music producer and director Lou Adler, Cisco is the front man for his own band, Whitestar. Famous for dating Hollywood starlets like Lauren Conrad and Mischa Barton, he’s most famous for a nude photo that circled the Internet in 2006 in which his nether regions seem stretched (Note: not the region that would be flattering). His band starred in 2007’s VH1 Reality show, ‘The Rock Life.’
4. Kim Kardashian - This curvy daughter of the late O.J. Simpson lawyer Robert Kardashian and current wife of Bruce Jenner, Kris Jenner, currently stars in E!’s “Keeping Up With The Kardashians.” Following the footsteps of heiresses before her, she gained notoriety for a sex tape scandal with R&B singer Ray J (Brandy’s brother). She has recently been accused of stealing her co-star’s mother’s credit cards to purchase clothes, when she was working as Brandy’s stylist.
3. Brandon Davis - Born Brandon Zarif, Brandon is a grandson of oil magnate Marvin Davis. He’s been to rehab twice, but if there is truth to famous photos, he should be there more often. He famously went on a caught-on-tape rant with famous fellow socialite friend, Paris Hilton, where he continuously called Lindsay Lohan ‘Fire C#$%*’ in 2006.
2. Nicole Richie - Lionel’s daughter’s first arrest was in 2003 for heroin possession. Later that year, “The Simple Life” debuted on Fox and the reality show co-star “frienemy” Paris Hilton gained instant notoriety. In 2006, the nickname “Wrong Way Richie” emerged after the star was pulled over driving the wrong direction on the 134 freeway in Los Angeles. She served about 82 minutes of jail time for the crime. However, recently she’s cleaned up her act — she has since had a baby and started a charity with her boyfriend, Good Charlotte rocker Joel Madden.
1. Paris Hilton - If you look up the word ‘celebutante’ in the dictionary, her name is likely listed. This uber-famous ’singer,’ ‘actress,’ ‘model’ and ‘writer’ is an heiress to the Hilton Hotels franchise. Already famous in society pages, Hilton skyrocketed to super stardom when a sex tape with Rick Salomon went public. This former LA County Jail resident (she spent 22 days there in June 2007 for charges stemming for violating probation over a DUI) makes an impressive income for ‘doing nothing.’ Forbes estimates she made $7 million in 2007 combined through all of her ventures.
At 23 LeBron James is giving Kobe Bryant a run for his money. Literally. The basketball player is about to become the NBA’s high paid player. A 4 year contract worth $60 million is in the works to keep him happy with the Cleveland Cavaliers. Currently he is banking about half of that. With endorsement deals from Nike and Coca-Cola he is set to break the $100 million marker combined with his 4 year contract. Reggie Bush came in second on the payroll with $24 million followed by Maria Sharapova with a million dollar difference. Michelle Wie took 4th with a $19 mill paycheck for golfing.
Media moguls Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen bring home a around $17 million per twin. Not bad being that their last film was in 2004. The bulk of their income stems from their Wal-Mart line that caters to the boho loving Olsen tween crowd. Hollywood rehab queen, Lindsay Lohan, earned around $3.5 mill before heading to several strings of rehab sessions. Odd being that just about everything she touches turns into a flop.
Younger still is Dakota Fanning. She has almost half a million for every year she has been alive. At 13 her starting rate is at Least $3 million per film. Fellow youngster Miley Cyrus is only 15 and could buy a boat, a million dollar home, her weight in shoes and a baby elephant with money left over to purchase hair extensions made from flying ponies. One album banked $3.5 million dollars, which will be a meager sum compared to her latest tour that kicked off last month. In order to score tickets to her alter ego concert you have to sell your first born on the black market.
Harry Potter himself is a rich bitch. Daniel Radcliffe just broke 18 years on this earth and has $15 million dollars at his command. Co-stars Emma Watson, who has become a Chanel queen, and Rupert Grint are also not hurting for cash. They each could write a $4 million dollar check that wouldn’t bounce. The threesome have more money coming their way with two more Harry Potter films on their way.
Avril Lavigne crooned out about $12 million in crappy songs this year . Her album “The Best Damn Thing” became an international hit. Meanwhile the country/pop queen Carrie Underwood cashed in around $7 million. Paid to party Paris Hilton “earned” $6.5 million just for being a pelvis princess.

Megan Denise Fox (born May 16, 1986) is an American actress and model, perhaps best known for her roles on the television series Hope & Faith and in the 2007 film Transformers.
Fox was born in Oak Ridge, Tennessee and has Irish, French and Native American ancestry. She grew up in a ‘very poor’ household and has one older sister. Fox began her training in drama and dance at the age of 5, then moved to Florida when she was 10 years old, continuing her training, and finishing school. She began acting and modeling at the age of thirteen upon winning several awards at the 1999 American Modeling and Talent Convention in Hilton Head Island, South Carolina.
As of 2007, Fox is engaged to actor Brian Austin Green.

Fox made her film debut in the 2001 film Holiday in the Sun as the spoiled heiress and rival of Ashley Olsen. She then landed guest appearances on Ocean Ave., What I Like About You, Two and a Half Men and The Help from 2003 to 2004. In 2004, Fox starred in Confessions of a Teenage Drama Queen alongside Lindsay Lohan. She was subsequently cast in her first recurring role in a television series on Hope & Faith, in which she portrayed Sydney Shanowski from 2004 until 2006.
Fox won the role of female lead, Mikaela Banes, in the highly-anticipated 2007 live-action film “Transformers” based on the famous toy and cartoon saga, where she plays the love interest of Shia LaBeouf’s character Sam Witwicky. In June 2007, Fox was reportedly cast in How to Lose Friends and Alienate People, also starring Jeff Bridges and Kirsten Dunst. Coincidentally, the character Fox will portray is that of a young Hollywood starlet getting her first taste of fame.
Fox has appeared in a five page spread for the November 2005 issue of the popular men’s magazine FHM and was ranked number sixty-eight on the FHM 100 Sexiest Women of 2006. She also posed for the March 2007 issue of FHM, the June 2007 issue of GQ and the July 2007 issue of Maxim.
What others said:
Hollywood Tuna says, “Seriously, it’s sick how perfect she is. I don’t think there’s anything this girl could possibly do to herself that would make her look bad.”
Lance Armstrong (36) and Ashley Olsen (21)’s new romance takes them on a well-traveled Hollywood path. Here’s how other celebrity couples have handled a decade-plus difference:
Marilyn Manson (38) and Evan Rachel Wood (20): After splitting with wife Dita Von Teese, rocker Marilyn Manson took up with actress Evan Rachel Wood, 18 years his junior. Manson told Rolling Stone that Wood, “was a real catalyst to help me realize that I wasn’t delivering the message that I always stood for.” And Wood seems defiant about the seemingly bizarre match, telling GQ, “I have blond hair and blue eyes and my boyfriend looks like a vampire. What do you want me to do about it?”
Demi Moore (44) and Ashton Kutcher (29): When Demi Moore and Ashton Kutcher started dating in 2003, they were the most unexpected and fascinating couple in Hollywood. After two years of marriage, the novelty has worn off, but the love is still going strong. Kutcher says of Moore, “She’s my best friend, my everything.” And Moore has hinted that she’d like to have children with her strapping young hubby. “Once you hit three [children] and you’re outnumbered, it’s really like, ‘What’s the difference between three or four or five?’”
Warren Beatty (70) and Annette Bening (49): Annette Bening is more than just an award-winning actress — she’s the woman who tamed notorious Hollywood bachelor Warren Beatty. The couple, who have been married since 1992 and have four kids together, provide each other “proper perspective” on Tinseltown’s highs and lows, Bening has said. That was never more true than when Beatty accepted the 2006 Lifetime Achievement Golden Globe, telling the audience, “It isn’t easy being humble when you’re married to Annette Bening.”
Angelina Jolie (32) and Billy Bob Thornton (52): Angelina and Billy Bob’s 2000-2003 marriage is best remembered for the extreme displays of affection that earned criticism from even her estranged father Jon Voight (”So much exhibitionism!”). But while Billy Bob still seems to hold a torch for Jolie (he has said that his ex “is an amazing, sexy person who happens to be beautiful”), the global do-gooder has moved on. Of her current beau (and father of her children) Brad Pitt, Jolie says “Brad is the first man to understand me.”
Justin Timberlake (26) and Cameron Diaz (35): In hindsight, when Justin Timberlake and Cameron Diaz both professed their fear of commitment on Ellen DeGeneres’s show, we should have known the relationship was doomed. While Timberlake told the host that any wedding was a good “15 years” off, Diaz confided, “I’m a commitment-phobe… don’t want to [get married].” Since their January split, both have found more age-appropriate hookups: Timberlake is dating actress Jessica Biel, 25, and Diaz has been spotted with actor Bradley Cooper, 32.
It really must be Halloween, that time of year when celebrities dress like sluttier versions of themselves and start acting crazier than normal. Take this latest celebrity couple rumor, for example - Ashley Olsen and Lance Armstrong were spotted at the Rose Bar together making out. Now that’s scary.
A bar spy says,
“They came together with a group of friends. Ashley drank red wine, sat on his lap and they were making out all night. They left together around 2 a.m.”
Lance is 36, Ashley is 21, and together they’re just plain creepy. I don’t know why, they just don’t seem to go together.
What others are saying:
Mollygood says, “Kinda gross, but the guy’s a cancer survivor, so he gets some leeway. Do what feels good, Lancey! Also: Who pegged an Olsen to be mature enough to look past a guy having only one testicle?”
dlisted says, “Ash is only 21. Everyone should spend their 20s slutting it up. Get in, get on, get off and get out! Lance is a hot piece of man meat, so she should suck that one nut and then move on.”
celebitchy says, “As a fit guy under 40, he’s not creepy-old for a 21 year-old, just in-denial old. This doesn’t make me go ‘ewww’ so much as say ‘why?’”
Here’s the 3-minute commercial for Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen’s new clothing line, “The Row”. It sounds really long, but it’s actually a pretty cool commercial with a cute girl, and I like the clothes. There’s something I never thought I would say.
She’s friends with Marc Jacobs, his ex-fiancé (and former hooker) Jason Preston, The Hills’ Lauren Conrad, model Jessica Stam, random internet socialite Cory Kennedy, and a whole host of other notable idiots.
“They came together with a group of friends. Ashley drank red wine, sat on his lap and they were making out all night. They left together around 2 a.m.”
